MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
Self-represented Plaintiff Rodney Allen Campbell filed this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 civil rights
action regarding conditions of confinement at the St. Charles County Jail. 	ECF No. 1. 	However,
Plaintiff neither paid the Court filing fee nor filed a motion to proceed in forma pauperis, or
without prepayment of fees or costs. 	Plaintiff must do one or the other in order for this case to
proceed. 	See E.D. Mo. L.R. 2.01(B)(1) (“The Clerk may refuse to receive and file any pleading
or document in any case until the applicable statutory fee is paid, except in cases accompanied by
a completed application to proceed in forma pauperis.”). 	Furthermore, if Plaintiff files a motion
to proceed in forma pauperis, he must also file a certified copy of his jail account statement for
the six-month period immediately preceding the filing of the complaint. 	See 28 U.S.C. §
1915(a)(2). 	Plaintiff’s failure to timely pay the filing fee or file a motion to proceed in forma
pauperis may result in the dismissal of this case, without prejudice and without further notice.
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Clerk is directed to send Plaintiff a blank
‘Application to Proceed in District Court without Prepaying Fees or Costs’ form.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff must either pay the $405 filing fee or submit
a motion to proceed without prepaying fees or costs by Thursday, February 5, 2026.
